Veggie mix
Summer is one of the best times to enjoy fresh produce, as most of these delicious and nutritious fruits and veggies are in season stateside. I always pick peppers, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from my garden to snack on at the beach, and you might want to as well. According to the Huffington Post, cutting these and other vegetables as well as bringing along a mix of fruits such as watermelon, oranges, honeydew melon and strawberries will help satisfy your hunger pangs while also helping to keep you hydrated.

Drinking plenty of water at the beach can be important, since sitting under the hot sun for hours or opting to play beach volleyball can dehydrate you faster than hanging out indoors. On the same note, avoiding saltier snacks such as pretzels or salted nuts is a must, since these items can actually speed up dehydration.

While snacks can help keep your stomach full for awhile, if you're planning to hang at the beach well into late afternoon, you might also want to pack something more substantial. According to Woman's Day, bringing a few roll-ups can do the trick.

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, roll out the dough into a large circle and spread the mustard all over the dough. From here, cut the dough into 8 triangles and then divide up the cheese, ham and onions evenly in each. Starting at the wide end of the triangle, start to roll the dough to create a crescent-like shape.

Place the roll-ups on the baking sheet and cook them for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're golden brown. These delicious sandwiches are sure to taste great after a long swim.
